Directions: In the following question, a number sequence is given with one term missing. Choose the correct term that will continue the same pattern and replace the question mark in the given sequence.1,2,4,7,?,16
Correct answer: B. 11
- A. 8
- B. 11
- C. 9
- D. 13
Explanation
To solve the sequence 1, 2, 4, 7, ?, 16, observe the differences between consecutive terms: +1, +2, +3. The pattern indicates that the differences are increasing sequentially by 1. Thus, the next difference should be +4. Adding 4 to 7 results in 11, completing the sequence as 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 11. The other options 8, 9, and 13 do not follow this established pattern, making them incorrect choices.
